Back home where we don’t need a dome

12/6/08

My trip was a success. I’m home, and all in one piece.

All I can say is you’re hardcore if you can live here full time.

I don’t care how beautiful it is in the summer.

Chicago is straight up freggin cold.

I don’t think it warmed up even once in three days.

It just kept getting colder.

I still don’t care for flying, but I can see how it could serve a purpose if your in a hurry and like to gamble with your life.

I had a window seat in row one, which afforded me the ability to periodically peer out and check the engine and wings.

You know, to make sure all was working and good.

Here are a few city pictures I shot while riding the train back to the airport.

Here is a shot of a few freaks I saw on the train ride (just kidding).

This is Spice. I believe Spice’s goal this trip was to eat his way in and out of Chicago.

Hmmmm… it took two of Chicago’s finest to write the ticket? And how can you not love a pink Darth Vader. Reminds of the night my husband & I were out on the town in Boston having drinks at this “posh” lounge near Fanueil Hall. We were watching people go by the windows and then there he was – Spiderman staring back in the window at us! And I swear – I was only on my first martini! Got to love the City! Glad you made it home in one piece.

Thanks Julia, I don’t usually travel too far from home, (I’ve done my time). So I may have a tendency to have a slightly childish perception of different cities and states. Especially places I’ve never visited before. I guess the area we were in was called “Boystown”. It’s funny, because I found myself laughing the entire walk to work every morning…laters…D

It’s good to see you had fun and were successful–and apparently stayed warm enough to make it home.
I love DIA–I think it’s my favorite airport I’ve ever been in. However, that big black horse with red eyes that I always see driving out of the rental car places scares the crap out of me. What is that?

Glad you made it back safe D. Thanks for sharing Chicago with us. Love the picture of you with the Blues Brothers.
On the Rockies message board ALRockies is starting a blog talk radio and is looking for people to call in as reporters. Thought it might be of interest to you. (See “OT-Calling fellow Rockies Fans” thread)

Oh gosh, Chicago must have been cold. I can’t even say that I know what cold is… I’ve only seen snow once. I want to move somewhere really cold though. The subway pics and Darth Gadar made me LOL.
